The Oasis classic has surged back up the charts and streaming rankings after England supporters and players united in an emotional post-match rendition during the World Cup.
Noel Gallagher has thrown his support behind calls for Wonderwall to become England’s unofficial World Cup anthem.
The Oasis songwriter, 59, spoke out about supporting the idea after England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia at the AT and T Stadium in Dallas, where an estimated 20,000 supporters remained in the stands after the final whistle to sing the Britpop classic alongside members of Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Noel told The Sun, which is spearheading the campaign: “Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players.
“Best of luck to everyone who’s made the trip out there.”
The Wonderwall singalong moment rapidly went viral online and has fuelled growing momentum behind a campaign to make the song the soundtrack to England’s World Cup journey.
The renewed attention on the hit comes amid continued excitement surrounding Oasis’s highly anticipated reunion tour, with many fans speculating they are expected to return to the stage together in 2027 after the 2025 run of gigs.
The singalong featured several England players, including captain Harry Kane and midfielder Jude Bellingham, who joined supporters in singing the 1995 hit following the team’s victory.
Harry previously spoke about the connection the song created between players and supporters, while several members of the squad echoed those sentiments ahead of England’s next fixture.
And England defensive midfielder Declan Rice said about the moment: “On the pitch after the game and we were just connecting with the fans and they were singing. That was special.
“I think it’s one of them moments – just a memory now – it’s gone. You never get that moment back. Being in Dallas, singing Wonderwall. There’s nothing like that first time.”
Newcastle United defender Dan Burn also reflected on the celebrations.
He said: “Singing Wonderwall with the fans was an amazing moment for me.”
Support for the campaign has extended beyond football.
Broadcaster Rob Rinder backed the idea of adopting the song as England’s tournament anthem.
He said: “If our boys are going to bring football home, let’s give them a song that belongs to all of us!”
Singer Olly Murs added: “The players are singing it, the fans are singing it… we need an official England Wonderwall video! It already feels like the soundtrack to this World Cup.”
Wonderwall remains Oasis’s signature song and one of the most recognisable tracks in British music history.
Released on the band’s landmark second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, the song helped establish Oasis as one of the defining acts of the Britpop era.
Since the England celebrations captured global attention, the song has experienced a surge in popularity across streaming platforms.
Reports indicate the remastered version has been attracting more than 1.7 million Spotify streams daily, while the album has climbed back up the UK charts.
The England Supporters Band has since added Wonderwall to its repertoire ahead of England’s match against Ghana at Gillette Stadium in Boston.
